Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Was Ready, Crawford Wanted Too Much Money

[DeLorean]

Crawford needs Manny.. not the other way around. Manny Pacquiaos great legacy is already sealed, while Bud has yet to even start building his.

this fight not being made hurts only one person..Crawford.

Pacquiao has endless stripes and can at this point pick whoever the hell he wishes to fight..including Jeff Horn. who is at least a ranked opponent, Andre Berto wasn't even top 25 at welterweight.

even at this point in Mannys career he is still a threat to a young prime Crawford.

Manny has nothing to prove.. hes a living legend already in the HOF.. where does Crawford go from here?

The rumor is Crawford asked for 7 mil. If so, he definitely asked for a lot. Pac makes 20 mil all the time. That's not a crazy ask. But Crawford would need to take 3-4 mil, which is more than Vargas got to be fair, but apparently Crawford does not want to do that.

Pacquiao's PPV don't sell enough for him to make $20 mil anymore. He got that for the Bradley fight and the fight lost money.

Manny is an ATG elite level fighter why the hell would they pay a general public unknown almost half of what some allege Manny wants.

The fans show up for Manny i.e Manny is the reason the fight will make money. I'd say give Crawford 3 million make it his biggest payday ever and he should be thankful.

Crawford is elite level too.....don't kid yourself.

Jesse Vargas isn't exactly the face of boxing nor was Tim Bradley.

Crawford has a HUGE fanbase in his home state that would SURELY fork over to see Terrence vs Manny on PPV.

This fight is worthy of hyping.

Terrence deserves what he is asking for...as was Broner.

I think everybody knows who didn't want this fight. Don't lie to yourself. Both Manny and Freddie don't want no part of Bud. Yet Manny is always saying he'll fight whoever Bob puts in front of him. Dude still lying.

This is why UFC keeps Growing and Growing. The fans, promoters, networks, and boxers lose. Thanks to the unreasonable boxers and promoters.

Does TC still need to jump up a division for that money ?

27mill purses ./ means Manny is getting very close to 75% of the money , what is wrong with 75/25 split Mannys way, do you want and expect TC to come up a weightclass and fight for like 10% ?

Boxing doesnt have a Boss that decides who gets what, boxing is every man for himself which creates a system where very few will get the lions share and the rest fight for leftovers.

Poor Freddie is still living in a world where he can spew bull****, and everyone will blame Floyd.
